superstardeejay 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Can any of you folks identify this driver? It's out of a Sharma organ speaker and is blown. I thought I'd see if I can get the specs on it but it dates from the mid-1970's and it's a bit before my time! It is marked Type: DC25 Spec: T1674.

norty303 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I'll stick it up on our forum and see if anyone knows. We got a long list of knowledgable old-timers as regulars :) See! Vitually instant response :) And some commentary on them in use too! Ita A Celestion DC 25 Horn Driver---these were Celestions equivalent of the better known RCF TW series drivers---date back to the late sixties or early seventies---these Celestion versions were not very popular as they did not go up very high and you still had to use tweeters above them--cheers--John. ..and it keeps coming.... You beat me to it John! They sound rather awful as well,really harsh"squark"..got a brown phenolic diaphramm if i remember.

superstardeejay 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yeah thanks Norty! I put this query on another forum as well and got the same response. They are actually a speech horn driver (A la Maplins Holiday Camp) and are optimised for speech, with a max freq of 8KHz at 25W. I've found a mid-range driver that will probably do, I'll give it a go. Cheers, Kevin . Link to post Share on other sites
